At Float IoT, we are driven by a mission to address the world’s water challenges through the power of technology. Our latest innovation, the Smart Handhole, is a testament to this commitment. Developed and tested over the past year, this smart, battery-operated underground communication device is designed to digitalize water infrastructure rapidly and cost-effectively.
By integrating proven technologies into a single, robust solution, the Smart Handhole enables water utilities to collect essential data, such as flow and pressure, from previously inaccessible locations. Our initial test in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel, the Netherlands, has been a resounding success, demonstrating the product’s exceptional reliability and performance.
Now, we’re taking the next step—turning this data into actionable insights to identify and address leakages in water distribution systems. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting journey as we continue to innovate and empower water utilities with smarter, more sustainable solutions.

How IoT Hardware is shaping the future of water management
How IoT Hardware is shaping the future of water management
February 20, 2023

Water is a precious resource, and as the world’s population continues to grow, managing water resources effectively is becoming more critical than ever. Smart water management involves the use of technology to monitor and optimize water usage, and IoT hardware and sensors are playing an increasingly important role in this process.
One of the key advantages of IoT hardware and sensors is that they enable real-time monitoring of water usage. Traditional water management systems often rely on manual readings, which can be time-consuming and inaccurate. With IoT sensors, however, data can be collected automatically and transmitted in real-time, allowing water managers to respond quickly to changes in water usage and take appropriate action.
IoT sensors can be used to monitor a wide range of water-related variables, such as flow rate, pressure, temperature, and water quality. By collecting and analyzing data from these sensors, water managers can gain a better understanding of how water is being used and identify areas where efficiency can be improved.
For example, IoT sensors can be used to detect leaks in water pipes, which can waste significant amounts of water and drive up costs. By identifying leaks early, water managers can take corrective action and prevent further water loss.
Another advantage of IoT hardware and sensors is that they can be integrated with other technologies to create a comprehensive smart water management system. For example, data from IoT sensors can be combined with data from weather sensors, satellite imagery, and other sources to create a more accurate picture of water usage and availability.
Overall, IoT hardware and sensors are playing an increasingly important role in smart water management. By enabling real-time monitoring of water usage and providing valuable data on water-related variables, these technologies are helping water managers optimize water usage and reduce waste. As the world’s population continues to grow and water resources become increasingly scarce, smart water management will be essential to ensuring that everyone has access to this vital resource.
In conclusion, the advantages of IoT hardware and sensors for smart water management are clear, and the potential benefits are significant. As such, it is important for water utilities to partner with companies that offer comprehensive end-to-end IoT solutions, such as Float IoT. Float IoT’s hardware and software are specifically designed for water management applications, and its expertise in data analytics, machine learning, and AI enable utilities to gain valuable insights into their water systems. With Float IoT’s advanced IoT solutions, water utilities can optimize their water usage, reduce waste, and ensure the sustainable management of this precious resource for generations to come.

Did you know Float IoT is rooted in the land of water technology?
There is one periodic essence that flows through the Netherland’s history: water. A fluctuating element that never moves in the same direction. An element potent enough to demolish entire landscapes, as well as a primordial need for our daily lives.
A fifth of the country’s total surface area consists of water, and nearly a third lies below sea level. The ocean crashes against the sea walls from the west, while rivers carry large quantities of water from the East. Half of the country would be menaced by water without the development of ditches, canals, windmills, dikes, and polders.
The Delta Works – a Meticulous Hydraulic Project
Delta of three European rivers, The Netherlands has a reputation for revolutionizing the water cycle. Dutch water authorities have spent years implementing creative methods to keep citizens safe and dry.
The Netherlands is best known for its engineering projects as a result of the 1953 North Sea Flood. The Delta works were developed shortly after the flood; large-scale storm barriers and dams were built to block estuary mouths and narrow the coastline.
The Maeslant storm surge barrier was the last construction of the Delta Works. The barrier’s structure is rather unique; a gate with two arms that rest on both sides of the Nieuwe Waterweg canal. The huge barrier doors are floating pontoons that can be filled with water. The additional weight makes them sink and turns them into a barrier. Everything is computer-controlled; a hydraulic engineering project that has allowed the Netherlands to coexist with water.
Today, this precise engineering system continues to protect the country, however, despite these advances environmental changes are a big threat. Water managers are undergoing challenges, including deteriorated infrastructures, increasing energy costs, and growing populations. Given these issues, exhaustive control of the consumption of this precious resource is essential. Water management runs in the blood of the Dutch. Keeping the country dry is a process the country started centuries ago and continues to this day. The question is, will this still be enough?
Why Should We Prioritize IoT in The Water Sector?
The Netherlands’ relationship with water keeps evolving, and there is a growing awareness that not just dikes and dams play a significant role in our safety. Climate change is also evident; ocean levels are rising, the land is diminishing, and rainfall is heavier, meaning more innovative solutions will be needed. We are facing a water crisis, however, this crisis is not about water scarcity; it is a crisis of managing water so erroneously that billions of individuals and the environment suffer badly.
IoT is an emerging technology that has allowed companies such as Float to find solutions to some of the water issues we are facing. Float IoT comprises defined characteristics such as automation, data information, communication data flows, and connectivity. The aim is to solve smart water challenges by combining hardware, software, and data analytics, to deliver end-to-end solutions, and to aid the reduction of Non-revenue Water (a significant issue for water utilities, occurring from leaking and broken pipes that tend to be caused by either outdated infrastructure or poor maintenance). Float’s solutions allow intelligent workability and functioning of the water industry; developments that are gradually allowing us to administer and understand how we consume water.
